First published 2001
Thomas Covenant finds himself transported to an impossible world called the Land. The inhabitants hail him as the prophesied reincarnation of their greatest champion, but Covenant cannot accept what he sees. He calls himself the Unbeliever because accepting this reality would shatter everything he knows about his own world. The people of the Land desperately need a hero to fight the ancient evil that threatens them. They look to Covenant to wield the white gold ring that marks him as their salvation. Yet Covenant struggles between the growing temptation to embrace his role and his fierce determination to reject what cannot be real. His disbelief becomes both shield and weapon as he faces the choice between returning to his familiar life and accepting responsibility for an entire world's survival.
